not catching my exception
-
try
{
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
eventLogImport.WriteEntry("SMTP Email error: could not send email.", EventLogEntryType.Warning);
}Hi, The above code still throws an unhandled SMTPException when smtpClient.Send is called. SMTPException is derived from System.Exception so should it not be caught? Thanks

Hmmm... if the smtpClient uses another thread, this won't be caught, you need to actually set a handler for exceptions from another thread.

i see something else thats wrong-ish your compiler should be giving you a warning "ex is declared but never used"... if you don't intend on using ex don't declare it...

So what exception are you getting where? Please post a stacktrace with line numbers and post the 3-4 lines aournd where it claims the exception is happening.

It must catch it (you still dont say the exact exception type I was asking for), if it does not, either your code is wrong, or something else. So how do you get that stacktrace? How did you print it out/copy it? I also note, you turned off debugging (and hence no linenumbers). It is not possible to accurately pinpoint the exact exception point in an optimized run mode. Lastly debugging a service is no more dificult to debug than any other application. 1. Start service. 2. Set a few breakpoints. 3. Attach to service process with debugger. 4. Wait for exception.

Interestingly enough, I see that the first thing this does is start off a new thread. As Christian said, this could well be the issue. Try using Application.ThreadException to catch the exception.
